iPhone seems to be dead after plugging in

I plugged my iPhone 5s into my computer and this happened:

My phone went black but the backlight remained on and it showed it was connected to iTunes.

I then restarted my iPhone (Home+Power Button) and the phone turned off but didn't turn back on again. (No backlight or Apple symbol...etc).

Ive tried:

Charging overnight

Charging with different chargers

DFU Mode (didn't show in iTunes)

Cleaning the charging port

Switching the battery

What can I do? If anything?

Note: Not water damaged in the least bit. Phones in perfect condition.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Power issues are a bit tricky. The first thing to check will be the charging port. Remove the battery and then try plugging it in and see if you get a apple logo. If you get a logo that loops over and over then its possible you have a bad battery and wont take a charge. If you dont get a logo i would try a charging port. Wish you luck.

  • if nothing helps then it could be a bad Charging IC on the Logic board and may need Board Repair.
